Capital of Liang County, Songcheng.

Wang Bodang came to visit the Prime Minister Han and handed over Zhai Rang's secret letter.

The Prime Minister of South Korea was very concerned about the situation in Jiyin. In his opinion, after the white-haired Li Fengyun entered the Central Plains, Zhai Rang would definitely raise his troops to respond. However, beyond his expectations, from Zhai Rang's secret letter, he not only did not see Zhai Rang's intention to raise his troops to respond, but instead was full of resentment and resentment towards Li Fengyun, and there were signs of turning against each other.

Regarding Li Fengyun, Han Xiangguo was very contradictory. The one who promoted Li Fengyun to raise the flag to rebel was Han Xiangguo, but the real purpose of Han Xiangguo was to divert the official's attention to plunder the heavy troops and to blame Li Fengyun. However, Li Fengyun saw through his plan, robbed the heavy troops in front of him, and then ran to Mengshan in one breath. Han Xiangguo suffered a loss, and the anger in his heart was imagined. Fortunately, the person who planned this matter did not blame him, but praised him. After all, plundering heavy troops was not the purpose, but a means of forcing Cui to reach a certain political tacit understanding with him.

Later, Li Fengyun was in a prosperous state in southwestern Shandong and fought with the government army. Duan Wencao and Zhang Xutuo joined forces to defeat him, which made the Prime Minister Han admire him. He had real skills and could not accept it. Therefore, he had a deeper understanding of the political game at the upper level. He knew that Li Fengyun was supported by Cui, and Li Fengyun rose in southwestern Shandong, which was obviously to hinder the Eastern Expedition. This matter seemed incredible, but if it was not incredible, how could it be called a political game? Next, the situation suddenly changed. Li Fengyun suddenly entered the Central Plains, which made Han Prime Minister stunned and confused. He didn't know what Li Fengyun's purpose was. However, one thing he could be sure that Li Fengyun's attack would inevitably promote the changes in the political situation in the Eastern Expedition, and this change was obviously not good for the Eastern Expedition. Behind Li Fengyun's incredible actions, there must be unknown secrets hidden.

The Prime Minister Han understood Zhai Rang's concerns and empathized with them. From his own interests alone, under the current situation, he would not raise the flag to rebel. There was no hope for the rebellion. The Eastern Expedition could not be defeated. Once the emperor and the expeditionary army returned, in the face of absolute strength, the weak rebels had no way to resist and would undoubtedly die. What puzzled him was that when he planned to plot against Zhai Rang and forced Zhai Rang to the point of desperate situation, it was said that Cui's secret rescue was rescued. Based on this, he inferred that Li Fengyun was supported by Zhai Rang, but now Zhai Rang and Li Fengyun were going to rebel, which made him have to doubt his inference. Could it be that the Cui family was not the Cui family who helped Zhai Rang, but the Zheng family in Xingyang? If Zhai Rang was loyal to the Zheng family in Xingyang, who was behind Li Fengyun?

The Prime Minister Han thought for a long time but couldn't understand it, so he turned his eyes to Wang Bodang.

Wang Bodang is in his twenties, handsome, tall and heroic. He is standing in the hall at this moment, looking a little restrained, but his eyes that pass by a few gloomy lines from time to time cannot hide his unyielding nature.

Most of the ancestors of the Wang family in Jiyang joined the army to conquer and were a standard family of warriors. During the period of the split between China and Earth, this type of "poor" warriors were very popular, but after the unification of China and Earth, they were the first to be hit and suppressed, and their descendants were hard to achieve success in their careers. The Wang brothers were self-aware. Since it was difficult to achieve success in their careers, they should live a peaceful life in the pastoral countryside. However, the resentment in their hearts was hard to eliminate. They gathered with a group of "poor" brothers who were sympathetic and pitiful, and gradually went from "white" to "black". The wealth grew very fast, and the local power was getting bigger and bigger.

The Han Prime Minister was born in a famous family. The Han family in Yingchuan, Chen family in Yingchuan, and Yuan family in Runan were called the three most famous families in the Yingru area. Han Qinhu, a famous general of the dynasty who was famous in the Middle Earth, came from the Han family in Yingchuan. Although there were no major figures in the branch of the Han Prime Minister, the Han family was placed there. Compared with the lower "poor families" like the Wang family in Jiyang, it can be said to be superior. The Han Prime Minister fully demonstrated this superiority.

Since Wang Bodang entered the door, he did not give him the respect he deserved, and he didn't even look at him at first glance. However, Wang Bodang was wearing a white dress, and the white dress was used exclusively by the common people in this dynasty. Wang Bodang's move not only reduced his identity, but also destroyed the etiquette of aristocratic people, and also disrespected his master, Prime Minister Han. If you don't respect me, how can I give you face? Therefore, Prime Minister Han not only did not give Wang Bo a seat, but he didn't even let him in the lobby.

Han Xiangguo waved at Wang Bodang, called him into the lobby, and still let him stand.

"Where is Zhai Fasi now?" Han Xiangguo asked.

"North of Jiyang, the old road of the river." Wang Bodang said concisely. Although he tried his best to hide his dissatisfaction, he was young and vigorous, and after a long time in the underworld, he was very rebellious, and he still expressed his anger. After all, I was also a messenger sent by Zhai Fasi, and I had a few encounters with you. I was bullied for the first time today, and I would be "rewarded" in the future.

Han Xiangguo thought for a moment and asked again, "If Jiyang is lost, should you follow Zhai Fasi to the river north, or find another way out?"

Wang Bodang immediately realized that it was the Prime Minister Han who was testing him, but he didn't know what Zhai Rang wrote in the secret letter and whether it leaked the differences between the Wagang brothers, so after hesitating, he replied, "Only Zhai Fasima is the leader."

The Prime Minister Han laughed and lost interest in asking. Wang Bodang was very cautious and said nothing in his words. He would definitely not be able to find out what he said. Since that is the case, why bother to talk too much? The Prime Minister Han's impression of Wang Bodang became worse and worse. He waved at him and signaled him to retreat, "I'll get the reply tomorrow."

Han Xiangguo sat alone in the lobby and thought for a long time. Suddenly, he made a decision and hurried out of the city with a few trusted guards and headed straight to the dock.

There were many sails on the Tongji Canal, and the embankment road was crowded with people. Boatman, sailor, and traveler, and soldiers gathered together in groups of three or three. What they said were either disasters or thieves. Everyone was in danger and was in panic. The sudden increase of fully armed guards on the dock just confirmed various rumors, which made the atmosphere inside and outside Songcheng very tense.

The sun was scorching in the sky, and it was hard to stop being hot. Han Xiangguo wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the large ship moored ahead. This was a medium-sized merchant ship, very ordinary, and there was nothing unusual. But in Han Xiangguo's eyes, the ship looked like a magnificent mountain, which forced him to look up. On the deck, a middle-aged man in blue looked arrogant and made a gesture to Han Xiangguo to board the ship.

Han Xiangguo followed the man in green into the inner cabin and saw a young man in purple sitting upright behind the desk and reading the book. The man in purple was thin, with a good appearance, elegant temperament, and a little dark skin. However, this just gave him a bit of integrity and heroism, and just diluted the strong bookish spirit of his body.

Han Xiangguo stood outside the hatch and gave a deep gift, "Pushan Gong..."

The man in purple looked up at him, smiled slightly, nodded slightly, then put down the book and reached out to ask for help.

The Prime Minister Han bowed his head and bowed respectfully, stepped forward respectfully, gave another tribute, and then sat opposite the man in purple and said softly, "Pushan Gong, Jiyang has a messenger, sending some news."

"Let me tell me." The man in purple smiled even more and was quite interested.

The Prime Minister of Han presented Zhai Rang's secret letter. The man in purple spread out and looked carefully, and the cabin fell silent.

Han Xiangguo looked at the man in purple intently and carefully observed the change of expression on his face. He was a little nervous and very nervous.

The young man sitting opposite was Li Mi, with a prominent family background. His great-grandfather Li Bi was one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty. His grandfather Li Yao and his father Li Kuan were both meritorious generals of Guanlong. The Li family was very powerful. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Yuwen royal family married the eldest princess to Li Bi's second son Li Hui. In this dynasty, the late emperor married his daughter Princess Xiangguo to Li Bi's grandson Li Changya. Li Changya was Li Mi's uncle, so according to her seniority, she was Li Mi's uncle. Although she was not a real uncle, the marriage between the two families actually existed, and this relationship could not be escaped. Li Mi was very studious and learned from Shandong Confucian scholars and assistant teacher Bao Kai of the Imperial College. He was famous in the capital for his erudition and talent.

The reason why the Prime Minister Han knew Li Mi was because of his kindness Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan was very close to Li Mi. When Yang Xuangan was the governor of Songzhou, Li Mi often came, and over time he became familiar with some of Yang Xuangan's confidants. After knowing Li Mi's identity, the Prime Minister Han was surprised that with Li Mi's family background and talent, why did he not enter the official career, but instead devoted himself to academic research? Later he found out some rumors that Li Mi was one of the members of the "Crown Prince" back then. Because Prince Yang Yong failed in the dispute over the imperial reign, he was deposed. The "Crown Princess" were implicated, the dead, the fleeing, the exile, and the surviving were all banned and permanently exiled from the official career.

After Yang Xuangan's father Yang Su died of illness, Yang Xuangan was resigned from his post because of Ding You. He returned to the position of the Minister of Rites a year later. Soon after, he was promoted to the Minister of Rites. However, the Prime Minister of Han went to Dongdu to seek help from his benefactor. To this end, the Prime Minister of Han went to Dongdu to seek help from his benefactor. To his expectations, Yang Xuangan not only gave him a very high-standard reception, but also introduced him into his core circle. Li Mi is a member of this core circle, but he participated in decision-making, and the Prime Minister of Han was only responsible for execution. Therefore, the Prime Minister of Han was far away from the true core of this circle, but the Prime Minister of Han was very satisfied. For him, as long as he entered this circle, it would mean he had a great success.

Yang Xuangan gave him the mission to make the local forces in the former Songzhou area bigger and stronger, and do his best to control the black and white forces on both sides of the Tongji Canal, and then under the protection of official forces, use the golden waterway of Tongji Canal, the golden waterway, to the greatest extent possible to seek private interests. It complements each other. When the interest network based on Tongji Canal is formed, it will inevitably promote the strength of local forces in turn, and will closely link the black and white forces on both sides of the Tongji Canal. In recent years, the Korean Prime Minister has done a good job and has not disappointed Yang Xuangan's trust.

Everyone has ambitions, and the same is true for the Prime Minister of Han. Especially when he stepped into the political group headed by Yang Xuangan and the Heluo nobles as the core force, when he peeked into the extraordinary political ambitions of Yang Xuangan and his allies, his personal desires quickly expanded. He was unwilling to hide in the dark and be a local boss who was both black and white. He wanted kings, princes, generals and ministers, and like Yang Su and Yang Xuangan, he became a powerful and omnipotent powerful person who could take advantage of the situation and seize everything.

He needed an opportunity, and there was such an opportunity in front of him. Although this opportunity was like the moon in the sky and was out of reach for him, it was within reach for Yang Xuangan and Li Mi. As long as Yang Xuangan and Li Mi were willing to reach for this opportunity, then his opportunity would come.
